Wrestling.

I was fortunate enough to be able to participate in varsity wrestling throughout high school. Throughout my time as a wrestler, I learned that a team is only as strong as its weakest link and understood that if one person failed, we all did. By the end of my career, I was awarded two varsity letters, two Coach's awards, The Ironman Award, and medals for team and individual tournaments. While I had finally gained recognition for my hard work, I had also gained knowledge on the true value of teamwork, responsibility and leadership. Through being a leader, I have gained patience; through being a member of a team, I have gained determination and commitment; and due to the fact that I was a member of a competitive sport I have gained a steadfast will to succeed. These qualities are exhibited in everything that I partake in, from my unyielding work ethic, to my ruthless approach towards any obstacle that may get in the way of my goals.
